Why Harry Potter books is banned in schools?

Answer 1

Banning books is never a good idea. It is censorship and that leads to surpression of ideas. And there is no reason to ban a fantasy book. The Golden Compass books should be banned before the Harry Potter books.

Answer 2

The Harry Potter books have been banned in some schools primarily due to concerns about themes of witchcraft and magic conflicting with certain religious beliefs. Additionally, some parents and educators have raised concerns about the portrayal of violence and dark themes in the books being inappropriate for certain age groups. However, the series is widely regarded as a valuable piece of literature that promotes themes of friendship, loyalty, and bravery.

Answer 3

Obviously they can not handle the coolness of it all.


There have been no "state-wide" bans of Harry Potter books in the United States (remember we have the First Amendment). However, several local school boards, most notably in Arkansas, have tried to ban the books. Some private schools have also banned the books. The reasons for the bans are usually religious in nature

Some religious leaders believe that the use of magic in Harry Potter is evil, or un-Christian. This may just be an excuse: perhaps they just want to take advantage of the popularity of Harry Potter, to get themselves into the front pages of the newspapers. After all, there have been no serious efforts to ban the tales of the Grimm Brothers, for example, or other Fairy Tales.
